Key Takeaways

  • • Shoot in daytime with full natural light for the brightest images
  • • Declutter and remove personal items before every shot
  • • Shoot landscape, chest height, and cover all key rooms

Light is everything

Open all curtains and windows; shoot late morning to afternoon. Avoid mixing yellow bulbs with daylight, which skews color.

Cover everything

Show living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, balcony view and common areas. Complete photos pre-qualify buyers and save wasted viewings — and never over-edit, or reality disappoints.
